In Episode 5 of Sky Commander Academy, we unpack the core systems that make every RPAS mission possible. This technical deep dive covers what pilots need to know about drone platforms, onboard intelligence, and communications — not just to pass the exam, but to fly with real understanding.

You’ll learn:

  • The differences between Multirotor and Fixed-Wing drones — and when to use each

  • What your Flight Controller and GPS are really doing mid-flight

  • How your Control Links and Communication Systems work — and what to watch for when signal fails

Whether you're prepping for your Basic RPAS Certificate or upgrading your gear, this episode gives you the foundational knowledge to command your aircraft with confidence.
